On Earth, there is an animal that is fascinated by humans, this animal is not a chimpanzee that once shared the same ancestors as us, but a marine mammal that lives in the ocean and looks like a human horse and cattle - killer whales.
According to reports, some time ago, a New Zealand woman encountered an killer whale while swimming, and the killer whale not only did not hurt her, but played with her for a while before leaving, very friendly.
What is an killer whale? They are recognized as high-IQ animals in the ocean, as a kind of dolphin family, they look like an enlarged version of the dolphin, and they look very cute and interesting, it seems to be like a "giant panda", giving people a harmless feeling of humans and animals, but in fact, the killer whales in the real marine world are literal marine killers.
Killer whales are a recognized marine overlord, they are very fierce, and can even be said to be very perverted in terms of prey abuse, in the ocean, killer whales have a very wide range of food, including great white sharks, will avoid killer whales, because killer whales have a hobby, that is, like to attack great white sharks.
This also leads to the fact that in the ocean, the great white shark, which has always been considered a very scary existence, is actually very afraid of killer whales, and in general, if killer whales are seen in a sea, then this also means that the sea is absolutely safe, because there will never be sharks, because sharks will not go near the sea where killer whales appear.
It is such a marine creature that makes the great white shark feel frightened, but they are extremely close to humans, and for some reason, wild killer whales do not attack humans, and they will protect humans.
For example, in 1966, in the Pacific Ocean, there was an accident on a Vietnamese fishing boat, and after the fishing boat sank, the six crew members on board swam toward the shore in the ocean as survivors, and the last one was exhausted, and they were going to die in the ocean with other companions who had been killed.
But at this time, they did not expect to encounter a group of killer whales, which sent them to the shore, and seemed to be to comfort the 6 surviving crew members, and sprayed water on their bodies, as if to tell them not to be afraid.
Similarly, in 1995, in the Atlantic Ocean, an Indonesian ship, because the impact of the storm caused 2 crew members to accidentally fall into the water, just helplessly, was also rescued by a group of killer whales, and finally returned to the ship safely, after which the group of killer whales swam around the ship for a while and then quickly disappeared.
There are many similar things, and I will not give you examples here, but we can see from these things that killer whales are indeed very friendly to humans.
You know, as of now, the incident of killer whale injuries has only appeared on the body of one killer whale, and this killer whale is a killer whale that is kept in the aquarium by humans, and it has witnessed its mother being tortured and killed by humans since childhood, and then she has been kept in captivity by humans, which has led to this killer whale having great hatred for humans, and finally biting 3 people.
So, in addition to this incident, other killer whales, especially wild killer whales, can be said to be very fond of humans, and a new question arises here: why do killer whales like humans?
As we mentioned above, although killer whales are friendly to humans, killer whales are not so friendly to other animals, and even killer whales are the same for their own kind, because after research, 70% of the calls of killer whales are basically because of dissatisfaction with their companions, so why not to humans?
Research suggests that this may be because killer whales, as a highly intelligent animal, may have established a certain friendly relationship with early humans, and this relationship has been passed down from generation to generation, so that killer whales naturally show friendliness to humans.
In addition, killer whales are non-territorial animals, and humans themselves are not in their diets, which makes killer whales uninterested in humans, and humans look different from the animals they are familiar with, which also makes killer whales dare not rush to approach, fearing disaster.
For example, killer whales may see humans killing other whales, and then find that humans are very terrible beings, and naturally, they are far away from humans. Even when humans encounter danger, killer whales will help humans in order to please humans, so that humans will not harm themselves, so that humans will feel close to killer whales.
Of course, in addition to the above speculations, scientists have also proposed some other conjectures, but these are not enough to explain why killer whales show such a great affinity for humans.
Perhaps, killer whales are really currying favor with humans, after all, for killer whales, as high-IQ animals, they are obviously smarter than we think, so in your opinion, what do killer whales really like humans? Welcome to leave a message and share it with us!
